I have been cooking for a long time, and I still love to experiment with new dishes. One of my favorite things to cook is delicious turkey stuffing, but it can be hard to find the right balance between moistness and crunchiness.

I recently found out about this great new gadget called an Instant Pot, which has made my life much easier! It cooks food faster than any other method on the market today and has many other functions that make cooking even more fun. Check this straightforward and foolproof recipe for Instant Pot Stuffing below!

The Instant Pot is one of those inventions that you never knew you needed until you had it in your kitchen.

I have loved my new Instant Pot and have come with a significant number of effortless recipes. Some of my favorites are INSTANT POT HOMEMADE HAMBURGER HELPER, INSTANT POT COLLARD GREENS, and INSTANT POT CRANBERRY SAUCE.

A MUST-HAVE THANKSGIVING SIDE DISH

For many people, the Thanksgiving table is not complete without a good helping of stuffing. From savory meats and vegetables in a rich sauce to hearty grains mixed with herbs for added flavor-it’s no wonder why this dish has become such as popular tradition!

The debate of whether to use the turkey’s stuffing or dressing has been going on for years. I prefer making it outside, but my grandma would always make hers in there and call it by its actual name: “stuffing.” Whether you choose one style over another is just preference, so don’t let anyone tell you that your way isn’t good enough because everyone does things differently!

Then add the toasted bread directly into the Instant Pot, mix well. Then mix in the broth. If you will stuff it into the bird, cook it per the instructions based on the turkey weight. If you are going to cook it separately, cook for 30 minutes, in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F.

STUFFING VARIATIONS

There are so many types and variations of stuffing! Plus, there is a whole world out to jazz up your traditional Thanksgiving dinner.

Here’s what I like adding into mine:

  • Fruit: Dried or Fresh Cranberries, dried or fresh apples, raisins, pineapples, blueberries
  • Nuts: Pecans, almonds, walnuts, and even macadamia nuts
  • Meat: Cooked bacon, sausage, Chorizo, or Italian sausage
  • Herbs: Fresh Basil, Sage, or Thyme

STORING TIPS + LEFTOVERS

The great thing about stuffing is that it stores and reheats so well! Store leftover stuffing in an air-tight container for three days, or freeze up to 3 months.

You can either reheat it in the microwave or a small saucepan. Add about 1/2 cup of broth, and then reheat, as it will keep your Instant Pot Stuffing moist.
